I have been looking into WLS for some time. I have been over weight for the past 25 years. I have lost over 50 lbs. a couple of times, but always gained it back and more. I look forward to a new me. I no longer want to get winded after walking up one flight of stairs!

My insurance approved me very quickly, however due to starting a new job, I am not able to have my surgery until the 1st of January. I have also decided not to announce this to everyone - only family and a few close friends. My significant other made me feel so good when he stated that he loves me just the way I am, but was also concerned about my weight because he wants to grow old with me. He is right by my side.

I will be posting on the board with questions, so please be patient.

Everyone have a great day!:thumbs_up:

Welcome to the forum, there are a great group of ladies here who can give you so much first hand information.

I was banded on Oct 29 and so far so good. I can tell you I made my final decision after joining this group, plus I was equipped with all kinds of questions for my surgeon after being on LBT.

Goodluck in the up coming months as you prepare for your surgery.:(

      Just been waiting until time for my consult with my bariatric surgeon. It's scheduled for Jan 9th. Turns out I won't actually be seeing him. Apparently it'll be with his P.A.             Not sure what to expect. I thought this is where the surgeon would discuss the best surgery option for me. For years I had my heart set on the sleeve, but I've read so many people have issues with reflux - even if they've never had it before - that they've had to be revised to the bypass. I already deal with GERD & take 40 mg of Omeprazole daily, so I started studying about bypass and honestly, it seems like it might be the better choice for me. How can we discuss surgery options if the surgeon is not there?
      What happened at your first consult? Trying to get an idea of what to expect, or maybe I should say, what NOT to expect.

      I would like to know what questions you wish you had asked prior to your duodenal switch surgery?
